Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 13

I only recently discovered the Brooks brand and these were my first purchase. I am blown away at the instant level of comfort and nearly perfectly pain-free walking they afford me for hours on end. I have been suffering with self-diagnosed plantar fasciitis for a few years now and finally decided to seek relief. In doing my research I realized all of my shoes and especially my sneakers were poor in proper foot support and that my 10+ year old sneakers (though in good shape "visually" I lead a very sedentary lifestyle) should have been replaced years ago. So I bought a new pair of Nikes and the Brooks Ghost 13s. I did an experiment 2 days back-to-back... the first day I wore the Brooks for my grocery shopping and errand running. NO PAIN while out and about and NO PAIN the rest of the day at home. The next day, I went to the mall for several hours in my Nikes. The pain was almost instantaneous and I was achey and sore as had been my usual for the past few years. Lesson learned, I will only wear/buy Nikes for style (for short distance occasions) and Brooks is my new brand of choice for walking/active-life. I do still have pain when standing from a seated position but I am hoping that with stretches and therapies I will be pain-free in time. The only downside about Brooks is the color combinations are very limiting. I would love to see more contemporary styles so that I can wear them with different outfits.

I purchased from this site instead of dept store because I can return these in allotted time if not Satisfied. I always redo the shoestrings to my specifications and & so far I Iike I how these feel! Im a nurse and Im on my feet all day and these offer support to my heels and arches.

This is my first pair of Brooks and I couldn't be happier! I have lots of trouble with my feet and knees and these shoes really help making walking and standing on my feet much easier. These were recommended by friends who are nurses and teachers. I am not a runner, but I am an avid walker.

Brooks Ghost has been my "go to" training shoe for 5 years. I love the way they feel on my feet. When it's time to buy a new pair, I don't even look at anything else. HOWEVER, this may change. My last two pairs have been a disappointment. The outside of both pairs started to break down after 4-6 months. On one pair, the rubber started peeling away on the outside of the shoe and the outside cushion surrounding the ankle wore through in several spots. On my most recent pair, which are only 5 months old, there are identical holes on both shoes where the small toe is. I am more than disappointed in the quality of the Ghost model. Sadly, I will be looking for another pair of brand of neutral shoes in the next couple of months.
